ABOUT ME
I’m a mechanical engineering student at Columbia University with an applied mathematics background from American University. I enjoy hands-on engineering work and have experience taking projects from design through testing, both in academic teams and during my internship as a naval engineer. Through that work, I’ve gained experience in CAD, manufacturing, experimental testing, and data analysis, and I’m particularly interested in aerospace applications involving structures, propulsion, materials, and manufacturing.
3D Lidar Scanner
In this project, I created a DIY 3D lidar scanner for object detection and mapping. The motivation behind this project was learning about object detection in my harmonic analysis class and radar instruments in my waves in optics class. I became...
2 Axis Solar Tracker
This was a class class project with the objective of designing, constructing, and implementing an Arduino-based solar cell array tracking system. Specifically, the project involved developing a system utilizing motors and sensors to detect a light...
Pillow Block
For my Mechanical Engineering Lab Super User training, I had to CAM and machine a pillow block on a mill. Using FS wizard, I was able to calculate the feeds and speeds needed to machine my part out of acrylic safely. This part posed a challenge to...
Mini Car Jack
This was a project to familiarize me with our Mechanical Engineering Shop at Columbia. The goal was to fabricate a mini car jack using a mill, laser cutter, 3d printer, and lathe from engineering sketches.
Button Pressing Mechanism
This was a machine design class project where we had to design a 4-bar linkage to press 3 buttons at pre-determined positions. This project involved designing, machining, coding, and lots of testing
AAIC Empennage
I designed, protoyped, and fabricated an AAIC competition plane T-tail empenage for Columbia University's airplane club.
